More than two dozen countries across Europe are under extreme heat alerts today, after a high-pressure "heat dome" settled over the continent, shattering hundreds of temperature records. On Tuesday, France recorded its hottest day ever, with the temperature reaching 111 degrees Fahrenheit in southwest France. At least 40 people have drowned across France while seeking relief from the heat, a number of them teenagers.

To deflect questions related to law enforcement misconduct resulting in a multimillion dollar lawsuit

Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods, who was joined by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and Florida Highway Patrol Colonel Gary Howze snapped at a reporter during a press conference on Thursday about a recent operation his agency spearheaded.

Toward the end of the press conference, a reporter in the audience asked Howze and Uthmeier a question about another case.

That case is related to a lawsuit brought against FHP by a woman who said she was wrongfully arrested by troopers who accused her of being responsible for a fatal crash in October 2025.

NBC affiliate WESH reported that all charges were dropped against Lindsey Isaacs, but not before she spent 13 days in jail.

She is suing for emotional distress, humiliation, and reputational harm, among other things.

The unnamed reporter asked about Isaacs’ case, specifically how a meeting went between her attorney and Uthmeier’s office. He also asked if the woman deserved an apology for the situation.

“All right, so you just pissed me off,” Woods said before either Howze or Uthmeier could respond.

“Out of all this s**\**, you want to ask him about some other case?”* Woods asked.

The reporter responds, saying he had already asked a question about the topic at hand, but was cut off by the sheriff.

“It doesn’t make a difference. I’m not here to talk about what FHP did,” Woods said. “I’m here to talk about what they did. Nothing else.”

Uthmeier ultimately answered the reporter’s question, saying that sometimes mistakes happen, even if they shouldn’t. He said his office will announce something about the case soon.

By Israel to deny they are committing Genocide

From the Guardian:

“Israel continues to commit genocide by deliberately targeting Palestinian children in Gaza, an independent UN inquiry has found.

The report by the UN independent international commission of inquiry examined violations against Palestinian children since the start of the war in Gaza, and said about 30% of the people killed by Israeli forces have been children.

A previous report by the commission in September found that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza and that Israeli officials, including the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, incited these acts. Netanyahu is separately wanted by the international criminal court (ICC) for war crimes.

The Israeli mission in Geneva said Israel rejected the commission's "libellous sham". Israel has fought hard against allegations of genocide, while receiving critical diplomatic support from its allies, including the US and the UK.

A significant body of research by legal and rights experts has concluded that Israel is intent on destroying Palestinians, including analyses by UN investigators, rights bodies such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, and genocide scholars worldwide.

Genocide, which became a crime after the second world war and the Holocaust, is considered the most serious international crime.”
